title: (2,2'-Bi-pyridine-κ(2) N,N')tetra-kis-(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)copper(II) bis-(perchlorate).
abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C2H6OS)4(C10H8N2)](ClO4)2, contains a Cu(II) ion with a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, bonded by four O atoms of the monodentate dimethyl sulfoxide ligands and two N atoms of the bidentate chelating 2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand. The equatorial Cu-N and Cu-O bond lengths are in the range 1.979 (2)-1.998 (3) Å. The axial Cu-O bond distances are 2.365 (2) and 2.394 (2) Å. In the crystal, the complex cations and perchlorate anions are connected by numerous C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which leads to additional stabilization of the structure. The perchlorate anion is disordered over two sets of sites with a 0.716 (3):0.284 (3) occupancy ratio.
